The Philippines is home to a diverse range of fungal species, yet comprehensive taxonomic assessments remain limited. This study provides an overview of novel Ascomycota species introduced in the Philippines through an extensive review of published records from Index Fungorum, MycoBank, and the Fungal Names databases. A total of 1,698 species within the phylum Ascomycota have been documented, spanning 564 genera, 170 families, 66 orders, and nine classes. This compilation provides valuable insights into the biodiversity of Philippine fungal taxa, highlighting the country’s rich mycological diversity and underscoring the need for ongoing research and conservation efforts. Key words: fungal biodiversity, fungal systematics, microbiological resources, Philippine fungi, tropical mycology.
